On the Verge of Becoming a Shadow Lyrics


What is the reason for his restless heart?

He's only waiting for a sign

The desperation that grows within his mind

There is no future for the blind

Fragmented memories flicker before his eyes

Everything's fading as the hope inside him dies

Where is the light that used to shine within and guide his way?

There's only shadows all around

He cannot see it, but he's about to fall

Now when insanity is knocking on his door

He stares into the mirror, sees a stranger looking back

His visions have burned into ash

Alone with his mind, he is left with his thoughts

The burden that no one understands

The way he has changed there is no turning back

The deeds they cannot be undone

The future is dark and has blackened his mind

The merciless fate has turned it's back

(Pre-Chorus)

Every step that he takes he only sees demise

Escape from his mind and leave it all behind

But still he'll fall down below where there ain't no light

(Chorus)

He's becoming a shadow

On the verge of becoming a shadow of all

Shadow

On the verge of becoming unreal

(Verse)

The pain runs deep inside and a stranger hides within

Shadows quantify from time to time

In all his loneliness, in his anger and his pain

The fate he can never escape

No there's nowhere going back

No there's not a second chance

Stare into the eyes of the world

Looking deep inside your heart

Before it tears apart

The shelter that covers the pain

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

(Chorus x2)
